Okay, lets be realistic. The 2500 will come out before taxes. He is still making 3200.00 per week plus NFL beneifts.

There are a ton of guys that would trade places with him.

I have to work 60 hours a week to earn $3200.00. He gets to work out and practice football.

I will try to hold back my tears.

if a gas station attendant in lots of states sells to minors, the cops come in and fine the attendant...not the store. most states, the fine is about 250.

If you sell alcohol to a minor in SD (and a couple other states) the cops come into the store and arrest the attendant...the manager has to come down or the store is locked when the arrest happens.

90%+ of the time, when you hit dirty, you made a conscience choice to do so.

I wonder if the NFL would sue the kid if he has an outstanding debt by not playing enough to cover the payments.

Wtf? How do you figure this?

This guy's JOB is football. He has 17 weeks a year where he's earning a regular paycheck....if he's lucky.

This is total garbage. A freaking UDFA.

Then maybe he needs a job for part of the other 35 weeks of the year if life is that rough. Maybe he could use that degree from FAU.....**** him

Re:

I am sure his teammates offered to help him on the side if it becomes to burdensome for him to handle.

I'd say of all the fines Goodell has handed out for "Malicious Intent" "defenseless receivers" and "Unnecessary roughness," 90 percent of them were clearly unintentional. For every Albert Hayneswroth stepping on some guys head theres 9 other textbook hits that were perfectly legal 10-12 years ago.

Leading with the helmet and launching himself into the player. Pretty clearly a penalty (under modern rules anyway), and pretty clearly fine-able (in the modern system).

Hard to get excited about it. And I don't think $20K is ridiculous. If he's elevated to the roster at any time his salary will increase dramatically.

Oh, and let's say there's no fine or the fine was very low (in consideration of the Practice Squadders low pay). That's basically like the Commissioner saying that marginal guys fighting for roster spots should feel free to take kill shots.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what Goodell wants to do.

:rolleyes:

It's a good thing he didn't hit Brady or Goodell would have to go to the rules committee and institute a new rule in 2012 that you can't touch QB's in preseason games.

You obviously didn't see the Pats/Lions game. The Lions' defense were only huddling up to determine which spiked dildo they should insert with extreme prejudice in Brady's rectum on the next play. It wasn't good, and it wasn't penalized...

The guy is making $77,000 then, playing a children's game. I am sure he would tell you he's blessed and happy to be there. He is.
